From the article: Dispelling the Math Myths
Studying for math often means doing the math. For me it means going through my old notes and analyzing the errors I've made in the past. Being able to determine where I've gone wrong will help me not to make those same mistakes twice. I tend to focus on analyzing the pattern of errors. I also find worksheets with similar questions to do. Reading through my math notes doesn't tend to work for me. Doing exercises, problems and questions is what works for me. Not only that, a positive attidude can go a long way too! Share your tips/tricks
logical reasoning
- The human brain is not like a book as when filled, use another one. And who was he who could memorize all in "Mr Webster"?, not even the Authors, just a comparison.

Go For It
- Don't expect to study math the night before the exam, rather make it your daily hobby! Cramming seldom works for the long term.

Fast Division Trick 1
- Division by 5 It is quite easy to divide a number by 5 if you follow the rule:”Double and then divide by 10″. Have fun with the trick 75 ÷ 5 = ? Double of 75 is 150 Dividing by 10 gives 15 Answer = 15 Let’s try one more. 44 ÷ 5 = ?? Double of 44 is 88 Dividing by 10 gives 8.8 Answer = 8.8 Time for you to try 65 ÷ 5 = 73 ÷ 5 = 18 ÷ 5 = 61 ÷ 5 = 52 ÷ 5 = 49 ÷ 5 = 35 ÷ 5 = For more tips & tricks visit http://www.1-1tutor.com/blog

Make your own question paper.
- I got my best score in maths when I was in the 7th standard.The reason -- I had to do 5 -10 sums daily as home work and i did not take my maths text book to my native place for vacations .I started making my own sums on sets,linear equations etc.....went at my own pace and scored well when the exams came.

How I prepare for Math tests
- What works for me is: I learn my definitions, formulas, etc... then I let it rest for a couple hours. I try to find some activity that will completely take my mind off the subject of Math. Then I do problems trying to remember everything WITHOUT picking at my formulas! I find this method very rewarding, because then I know exactly what I need to review for the exam.

Repetition
- When I was in school, math was my most difficult subject. One of my best math teachers taught me a simple trick: Write out a problem, solve it, and repeat this over at least 3 times. Going through the motions repetitively will help instill the steps in your head.

Study with Friends
- I study with my friends. We review formulas and theorems together, then we quiz each other. Once we're ready we pick math problems and solve them. Sometimes it is nice to just sit and chat but we try to stay focused on preparing for the test.

Can't do math
- Can't do math. My parents got me a new tutor but I suck at math. I get real sweaty during tests and I can't concentrate. My strategy is yoga and a muscle relaxant before the test but it doesn't really help. Any suggestion?
- —Guest Herbert Stressan
Prepare, prepare, prepare
- I gather all my books, notebooks and review packages for the test. I review my theorems and definitions by writing them each about 10 times. Then I recite them to my Mom to make sure I know them. Then I write each one neatly on one page to ensure I have them all covered. Then if I have time I do a couple of problems.
